Details
USN-2950-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Samba. USN-2950-3 updated Samba to
version 4.3.9, which introduced a regression when using the ntlm_auth tool.
This update fixes the problem.
Original advisory details:
Jouni Knuutinen discovered that Samba contained multiple flaws in the
 DCE/RPC implementation. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform
 a denial of service, downgrade secure connections by performing a
 machine-in-the-middle attack, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2015-5370)
Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba contained multiple flaws in the
 NTLMSSP authentication implementation. A remote attacker could use this
 issue to downgrade connections to plain text by performing a
 machine-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2016-2110)

 issue to downgrade connections to plain text by performing a
 machine-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2016-2110)
Alberto Solino discovered that a Samba domain controller would establish a
 secure connection to a server with a spoofed computer name. A remote
 attacker could use this issue to obtain sensitive information.
 (CVE-2016-2111)
Stefan Metzmacher discovered that the Samba LDAP implementation did not
 enforce integrity protection. A remote attacker could use this issue to
 hijack LDAP connections by performing a machine-in-the-middle attack.
 (CVE-2016-2112)
Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba did not validate TLS certificates.
 A remote attacker could use this issue to spoof a Samba server.
 (CVE-2016-2113)
Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba did not enforce SMB signing even if
 configured to. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform a
 machine-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2016-2114)
Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba did not enable integrity protection
 for IPC traffic. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform a
 machine-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2016-2115)
Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the MS-SAMR and
 MS-LSAD protocols. A remote attacker could use this flaw with a
 machine-in-the-middle attack to impersonate users and obtain sensitive
 information from the Security Account Manager database. This flaw is
 known as Badlock. (CVE-2016-2118)
